The global mobile payment market size was valued at USD 2.98 trillion in 2023 and is projected to grow from USD 3.84 trillion in 2024 to USD 27.81 trillion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 28.1% during the forecast period (2024-2032). Mobile payment enables instant money transfers and is a secured substitute for cash-based transactions for customers. The increasing availability of high-speed mobile networks, along with the increasing penetration of smartphones, is boosting the adoption of mobile-based payment solutions. The digitalization of payment services and growing e-commerce businesses are contributing to the growing market trends. The digital generation, i.e., generation Z, is likely to create vast opportunities for the payment industry to grow during the forecast period. Furthermore, to attract customers to pay through mobile devices, the market players are offering rewards, redemption points, loyalty points, and others. For instance,



  • In February 2023, Japan-based mobile payment service provider KDDI Corporation announced a collaboration with Oracle Corporation to offer a faster and more effective customer loyalty program on its au Pay system.


The pandemic has drastically changed the channels and modes of transactions done by consumers and merchants. Today, people are more cautious about transacting in cash while shopping in public places. This has triggered a sudden spike in demand for contactless payment methods such as mobile wallets, NFC, QR codes and more. According to MasterCard's survey, 79% of consumers globally used contactless payments to maintain safety and cleanliness amid the pandemic.


Mobile Payment Market Trends


Growing Adoption of Artificial Intelligence-based Applications in Payments to Accelerate Market Growth


Artificial Intelligence (AI) is expected to increase demand for mobile payment solutions. AI assists enterprises in analyzing the data and recognizing patterns. Besides, it helps in identifying and monitoring the buying behavior of users. Enhanced customer engagement solutions offered across industries using AI help increase customer value. According to the 2021, PWC’s Digital Banking Consumer Survey, to boost long-term trust amongst customers, continuous and real-time efforts are required. Thus, the adoption of AI across digital payments will enhance customer service.


Similarly, as AI can detect patterns, it can be very useful in detecting fraudulent activities in these payments. With the right use cases and historical data patterns, artificial intelligence (AI) can detect fraudulent activity in real time. The rising implementation of artificial intelligence for better customer experience and secured mobile transactions will drive the mobile payment market growth. For instance,



  • In November 2023, NatWest and IBM introduced a new version of the bank's Virtual Assistant Cora using generative AI, to make it possible for customers to have access to more information by way of conversation. To ensure that its digital services offer a safe, easy, and convenient user experience, the bank uses gen AI with virtual assistant.

Mobile Payment Market Growth Factors


Paybacks and Reward Strategies to Boost Market Growth


Several payment service providers are investing in their businesses, thereby creating fierce competition in the consumer market. To maintain a loyal customer base and create new customers, payment app companies such as Google Pay, Alipay, Amazon Pay, and others are using new strategies. For instance, Google Pay offers scratch cards containing a certain amount that can be achieved with minimal transactions. Such initiatives are helping to maintain customer loyalty with users paying through smartphones. Furthermore, companies have started to offer rewards and cashback when customers opt for mobile channels for transactions. With the implementation of such reward facilities, customers tend to use mobile apps to pay for every transaction.


The companies are offering an app to keep track of points for the users. For instance, Samsung Pay offers reward points to its smartphone users for every purchase they make. Samsung reward points can be used to purchase their products. Many customer-oriented industries, such as travel & tourism, restaurants, retail stores, and hospitality sectors, have started adopting mobile apps with rewards and coupons. For instance, Hilton Worldwide started room booking and payments through their own app, Honors, to enhance customer engagement. This is expected to drive the mobile payment market share.


RESTRAINING FACTORS


Security Concerns and Inconvenience of Using Cash to Impact Mobile-based Transaction


Although mobile payment solutions provide several features such as better operability, reliability, and flexibility, a majority of end-users are still comprehensively dependent on cash for their daily activities. People have been using the traditional payment mode for several years, and thereby, they are reluctant to adopt new technologies. Customers, owing to their habits, feel safe using the traditional mode of payment when the transaction amount is huge. Also, the payment mode stores personal information such as location, amount balance, purchasing pattern, card PIN, and other details. This increases the risk of unauthorized usage of this personal data and increases security concerns amongst customers. This is likely to hamper the global market growth.


Mobile Payment Market Segmentation Analysis


By Payment Type Analysis


Instant Payment Facilities to Drive Proximity Payment Demand


Based on payment type, the market is categorized into proximity payment and remote payment.


The proximity payment segment is further sub-segmented into Near Field Communication (NFC) and QR code payment. Remote payments is further categorized into internet payments, direct operator billing, digital wallets, and SMS payments.


Proximity payment refers to in-store payment solutions using smartphones. The proximity payment is exhibiting rapid growth in the market owing to its instant payment offerings.

In the proximity payment segment, Near Field Communication (NFC) is gaining rapid growth. Many telecommunication companies such as China Mobile, AT&T, Vodafone Group, Bharti Airtel, and others, are providing SIM-based NFC, which can be instantly operated at the Point of Sale (POS). The QR code segment is expected to gain maximum market revenue from proximity payments. The Quick Response (QR) code has gained instant popularity in the market with its launch owing to its ease of payment process. With its unique barcode technology, QR codes can offer instant and secure transactions and are widely used for peer-to-peer transactions.  NFC allows merchants to integrate loyalty programs into their payment systems, allowing customers to redeem vouchers immediately using mobile devices. The growth of the segment is anticipated to be driven by a rise in e-commerce platforms and the continuous use of modern technologies for financial transactions.


Remote payment to gain a significant share during the forecast period. Remote payment offers the ease of contactless payment through the available real-time online terminal. It blocks unknown terminals from the network and provides fully secured transactions. In this segment, digital wallets will gain rapid growth owing to the various available wallets such as Freecharge, Amazon Pay, Payzapp, and more.  Additionally, as remote payments do not require any direct interaction when making payments, the popularity of remote payments is increasing, especially due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. The segment growth is projected to be driven by the rising acceptance of virtual terminals for remote payment services.
